In this paper, frequency modulated(FM) reflectometry is proposed to measure group velocity of microwave transmission line Various microwave transmission lines such as periodically loaded conducting posts in a waveguide and nonradiative dielectric(NRD) guide are adopted to measure their group velocity The result compared with that from network analyzer shows good agreement, indicating the validity of our measurement method.

A new type of interaction circuitry for a broadband gyro-TWT is presented in this paper. A method for the analysis of dispersion characteristics of a periodic structure, which is composed of conducting posts in a rectangular waveguide, is presented. This method utilizes a mode matching technique and equivalent circuit model. The calculated and measured results demonstrate that this periodic structure could be utilized for the interaction circuit of a wide band Gyro-TWT.
